Default Which beer?

I dont know what it is but I cant settle on one beer.
When I lived here before, it was VB all the way - no questions. This time round I'm struggling to find a permanent partner. I never had this problem in the UK.

Anyone else feel the same? There is such a huge choice which doesnt help.
Have tried with VB again but we've grown apart. A bit like an ex girlfriend - great to catch up for old times sake and maybe a one night stand but you dont want a full time relationship.

Keep drifting back to Crown's, but dabble with Corona's, Blonde's.

Settling here has so many challenges!

Australian beers are mostly all dirty slappers you wouldn't want to keep seeing on a regular basis.

If I'm stuck for something to clean my drains with, then it's VB all the way for me too.

James Boag stuff is fairly drinkable. Tasman Bitter (only from Liquorland) is also reasonable. Little Creatures is pretty good, but there's nothing that can rival the likes of Old Speckled Hen, Abbott Ale, Bishop's Finger or Badger Golden Champion.

Your right about there being nothing that is able to rival the likes of Old Speckled etc, they are all shite - cant stand "real ale" myself.

VB = Vomit Bombs

Used to drink Newcastle Brown Ale but got the worst hangovers imaginable. Guinness that is kept correctly is like nectar but put on too much weight. I now like to drink Charlton Draft for my sins. I will however drink most beers (especially if they come out of my brothers beer fridge), but I keep drifting back to the Charlton Draft.

Have you given Coopers a go? Try the Pale Ale - tastes much better than it sounds. They also do other Ales (Dark, etc.) and Lager.

There are, but they're mostly found in Victoria.
